I work at a phone store, it's the best phone we sell screen-wise, camera-wise, and battery-wise. I'm sure you've seen the price without a trade in, but you could also buy from a carrier with a multi-year payment plan (which also means your device would be carrier locked); that'll bring your price down like $250 from what I've seen. Check out the XDA Forum page for it and the TWRP website if you want to get into the really cool stuff. As far as downsides I'm not a huge fan of the pen because personally I'd lose it and in the stock software configuration it is full of AI shit. But bottom line it's a fantastic device if you can afford it.
I had the note 2 and yeah the pen is a fad. I wish they never added the pen to the ultra but I guess it’s good for whoever needs it. I won’t be using it though, perhaps on rare occasions.
